[GRASS5] BWidget version problems

[Martin Pokorny]

Hi,

I recently encountered some problems with the GRASS 5.1 dynamically
generated tcl command windows, which I traced to different versions of
the BWidget library installed on my system. My system's BWidget
library version is apparently not compatible with the GRASS code, to
the effect that when I issue a GRASS command from the command line
without arguments, I do not get a command window, but a 'wish' process
voraciously eats CPU cycles. Static GRASS GUI windows do not exhibit
the same problem. The difference is that the static windows require a
specific version of BWidget. The following cvs diff output shows a
solution to the problem.
